Vai, Steve The Story Of Light

2012, THE STORY OF LIGHT marks a new solo album of original material by virtuoso guitarist and visionary composer Steve Vai. Its sprawling and expressive 12-song set continues a conceptual and cosmic narrative arc begun on the artist's acclaimed 2005 album REAL ILLUSIONS: REFLECTIONS. Throughout, three-time Grammy winner Vai's lead guitar is as lyrically resonant as it is technically masterful, his licks and solos bending sounds and in listeners' minds in equal measure. THE STORY OF LIGHT follows the journey of a man driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment, and redemption. The opening two tracks are very epic sounding, both using seven string guitars to get full sounding chords to build atmosphere.
